Reader review: 'The Dark Knight'

For all those Batman fans out there, this is a movie you don't want to miss.

Even though it was inspired by DC comics, it's not really geared for the younger summer audience. Batman (Christian Bale) raises the stakes in his war on crime with the help of Lt. Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart).

Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the Gotham City streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find they are prey to the evil doings of the Joker and his operations.

The Dark Knight faces this rising psychopathic criminal called the Joker (Heath Ledger in his last and most impressive performance), who's eerie grin, laughter and inhuman morality makes him more dangerous than what he has yet to unleash. It becomes an agenda to the Batman to stop the mysterious Joker, while the Joker is destined to reveal to the city the real identify of the criminal Batman.

I give this movie three stars out of four.
